Recently my mom asked me to make her a facebook and I just told her it's not not allowed. She makes the neighbor's daughter show her my facebook all the time and then she'll call me to give me a bahdala about something (did you gain weight....did you go shopping...etc) All khalati are on facebook….even my older ones that are grandmas (some of them are still in my ‘friends requested’ section).

Always amusing... Maye one day our kids will laugh at us when they try to teach us about whatever new technology that might unfold in the future! The other day I was talking to my brother about how parents in general are fascinated with new technologies. For us, we grew up with these things, but for some old folks even mobiles could be something fascinating... Like when someone mentions that "Abu khaleel" called him and he didn't answer, then he puts on a slightly smug look and says: bas ma 7akait ma3ah, ba3attelloh message My parents have also created facebook accounts recently, my father doens’t use it but m mom is quite in love with it :D It’s really ironic how children become tutors for their parents!

We are following up with technology yes, but if you look at it, the stuff we are missing out on, our kids would grow up using. And we'd be the butt of their jokes and rolling eyes :D It's called karma. I think our kids will be mocking us terribly.
